Should I fear this hurricane that is coming?

Question

I am in polk county fl.

Answer 1

Don't fear it, but respect it.  It does not appear Fay will be that strong, as far as hurricanes go, and in fact with it's core still looking rather disorganized, it may not even attain hurricane status before making landfall.  Still, it will produce a lot of rain and some flooding.  Polk county, being fairly well inland, won't see quite as bad conditions as along the coast, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out due to the nature of the wind flow in tropical systems.

Answer 2

just know that it is coming and be prepared to get to low ground go to basement or she alter stay cove rd maybe use your mattress go in your bath tub  

Answer 3

I studied meterology at the community college but it didn't tell me much.  I would say you should really considering evacuating.  Hurricanes sometimes are unpredictable.  It is unlikely that it will be a danger but you should always prepare for the worst.
